Few cocktails feel as effortlessly sophisticated as a properly made martini, and this one delivers that cool, crisp elegance every single time. Managing a nickel-restricted diet can make even simple pleasures feel complicated, but this drink keeps things beautifully clean — just gin, dry vermouth, ice, and a simple garnish of olive or lemon peel, all of which are naturally low in nickel. The technique matters here: stirring rather than shaking gives you a silky, perfectly diluted pour that's far smoother than anything you'd get from a shortcut. Chilling the glass first is a small step that makes a noticeable difference, keeping every sip ice-cold from the first to the last. Whether you finish it with a briny olive or a bright twist of citrus, the result is a drink that feels like a proper occasion — no special substitutions required.
